For TV shows, make sure that you have "TheTVDB.com" selected and only it as the collector.  You also have to make sure that your shows are named correctly.

They should be something like:

folder = Show name

folder= Season

file = Show name E01S01

I have done some testing, and find a few oddites.Selected movies pull up 3 sheets(not Related to the movie} then quits. Listening to a song stop it and go to the home button and the WDC reboots

I think it is the processing of the .png files that causes the hub to reboot..

Perhaps it eats up the processor lol

Ps: don't forget to vote for this idea:

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT 'LIST VIEW'

The Idea was to create a way to have all views with the "ONE" moviesheet.
This, i achieved with all of the Views  ... but 'List View' is a special case.

In creating a solution, ive created another problem..   List View is ONLY compatible with the Moviesheet.
This means 'Standard' Image dimensions will be totally messed up.

The Reason ? ..  Well, to achieve the Gallery MovieSheet to be used in List View required the image to be

Drawn 'Twice'... Once for the 'Top' half and again for the "Bottom".  And to make things more complicated, the 'Top' half is not the

same Horizontal Resolution.... so i 'Scaled It' to match the Bottom Width Dimension.

I did create a Template for Music Covers (or any picture wih Equal Width & Hieght) that can be used in this List View
(Which took a heck of a lot of working out.... lots of scale/aspect/x/y/w/h/crop etc etc)

In Conclusion, the List Mod Works.... but i totally understand it's most probably not very practical.. but hey, i tried.
Only other solution is to ditch the List mod, and create Separate Moviesheets for that View... which brings it back to 'Square One' for me again.

What would I need to edit in the list view to change it to look like the below image. I will be using list view for music and not for movies so I dont need the movie sheet to look right in list view.[in fact I could do with removing list view entirely for videos but leave it for music...if possible]

I also do not want to use the TG trick you created for for music as I purposly do not have album art images in my music folders. I embed them into the mp3s using ID3tagging. My music gets used elsewhere besides the hub and would like the files to remain in the same structure.

2. When are you implimenting the home screen icons shown in the beginning of your video here? Thos are kewl looking.

3. I mentioned this one in another post earlier.... Once opening "Videos" I have my folders... Movies, HD Movies, Exercise, TV Series, Kids Movies, Temp Movies.

Above these folders is a giant image of a folder... any way to remove this? 

Thanks

It would be great if you could remove list view for movies, as i don't have much use for it.

And like you say Drizz it would be more suited for music!!

but surely it can't be as simple as that!?!..........
